Differential/xmission lube question
« on: July 30, 2008, 10:52:43 AM »
My diff is leaking so I'm going to replace the gasket & bushing. Whats everybody using for lube? Pelican sells Swepco for lots of $$$. Is it worth it?

While I'm asking questions, Is there any differential mount that is better than others? I was just going to order the Corteco brand from Pelican.

I used the high performance redline gear oil and it works great.. mine leaks out the rear output. I paid ~10 dollars for it.

Royal Purple for me as well.  Synchromax in the trans. and 75w90 in the diff. Smooth as smooth can be.
